Best fantasy football quarterback sleeper
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins. Despite topping 4,000 passing yards last year in Bill Lazor’s offense and adding more receiving weapons in the offseason, Tannehill still seems to be flying under the fantasy radar. As Vinnie Iyer noted in his list of “20 draft-day steals,” Tannehill is also a threat to run out of the zone read. He’s a perfect target if your draft strategy is to wait on a quarterback, or you’re preparing to cover for Tom Brady’s early suspension.

Best fantasy football running back sleeper
Latavius Murray, RB, Raiders. Everyone knows about Murray, so he’s not of the late-round sleeper variety, but he still falls in the “could be a top-10 player” category. A freakish athlete, Murray is set to take over the Raiders bumbling backfield, and could carry fantasy owners all the way to a championship. No wonder he’s been mentioned in just about every fantasy sleeper article we’ve done this preseason, including Craig Williams’ list highlighting the best sleeper from each NFL team.

Best fantasy football wide receiver sleeper
Nelson Agholor, WR, Eagles. The secret’s out on Eagles WR Jordan Matthews, who’s going to be a fantasy football stud as the No. 1 receiver in Chip Kelly’s offense. However, Agholor is looking pretty good himself as the Eagles’ No. 2 target, especially with TE Zach Ertz recovering from groin surgery. As I mentioned in my preseason “Sleeper, Bust Picks,” Agholor is a cheap way to buy into the Eagles O if you can’t get Matthews or DeMarco Murray.

Best fantasy football tight end sleeper
Ladarius Green, TE, Chargers. Green has been a popular sleeper for the last couple years as fantasy owners anticipated Antonio Gates’ demise. Now, with Gates guaranteed to miss the first four games of 2015 with a suspension, Green is set to showcase his talents. However, Green’s ADP is still relatively modest given his opportunity and upside. As Matt Lutovsky mentioned in his preseason “Sleeper, Bust Picks,” Green could earn himself a large role even once Gates returns. Plus, Gates remains an injury risk at 35 years old.
